Vol. 505 No. 4
108 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Finance the plans, if any, in place to increase the availability of flexible working hours within his Department and in agencies under its auspices; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14013/99]
Staff serving in the grades of clerical officer, staff officer, executive officer, higher executive officer and administrative officer are on flexitime. Staff serving in the grade of assistant principal may opt for flexitime if they wish. There are no plans at present to extend flexitime to any staff in my Department serving in grades above assistant principal level.
Jobsharing – half time attendance – is availed of in my Department at present by staff ranging from clerical officer up to and including principal. Any member of staff may apply for jobsharing regardless of grade.
